Reuters. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Tuesday (September 1), that Iran will immediately reciprocate if the United States returns to its commitments under an interim deal signed in June.
He made his comments at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Bishkek after the first exchange of direct attacks in the U.S.-Iran conflict since late July, with the U.S. striking Larak Island and Iran then launching attacks on two U.S. air bases in Jordan.
Tehran has repeatedly said it will allow free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil supplies, only if Washington implements the terms of the agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News "there will be a response" following the Iranian attacks but told reporters in the Oval Office that the renewed strikes did not signal a return to full-scale war.
